The soaring success of Bohemian Rhapsody – the Freddie Mercury/Queen movie which now stands as the highest grossing music biopic of all time – has proven that the public’s love for Queen remains as strong as ever. In particular, Bohemian Rhapsody attracted an audience of 9.94 million in S. Korea, becoming the most popular music film ever in Korea and given a phenomenal boost to Queen’s music on streaming services. Long-time fans and recent converts will be thrilled to discover then, that Queen – original band members Brian May and Roger Taylor, teaming up once more with longtime front man Adam Lambert on lead vocals – will come to Korea next year, to play <Hyundai Card Super Concert 25 Queen>.

The band’s brand new larger-than-life Rhapsody tour which will first debut with 25 sold-out shows across North America this summer will arrive in S. Korea in 2020 with two concerts on 18th & 19th January billed as <Hyundai Card Super Concert 25 Queen> to take place at Seoul’s Gocheok Skydome.

Since Adam Lambert first shared the stage with Queen for the 2009 American Idol final, his dynamic performances have reinvigorated the band and delighted fans worldwide. Their first full show together – starting as they meant to go on - thrilled a half-a-million-strong crowd in the Ukraine capital city of Kiev in June 2012. Since then May and Taylor’s musical fireworks have been matched by Lambert’s vocal prowess and stage presence, making for an explosive combination. Over 180 gigs later, the partnership has proven a commercial and critical triumph, playing to enraptured full houses in every corner of the world.

Completing the tour line-up are long-term collaborator Spike Edney on keyboards, Neil Fairclough on bass, and Tyler Warren on percussion.

Never known to rest on their laurels, Queen’s Rhapsody tour will unveil a stage show as experimental and rule-defying as the hit-packed Queen back catalogue.

In Korea, the movie, Bohemian Rhapsody screened for 140 days, attracting 9.94 million audience, recording number one as the best music related film, breaking a 6 year record. The movie now is the 6th most popular foreign film in South Korean history and created a new culture of audience singing along in movie theaters. With the request from the public, some of the theaters opened the movie as “Sing-Along” showings. The tickets were sold-out as soon as they were opened.
